I don't think it's a strawman argument, and even if it is, I dont think that negates the point of the article. My take is that we have poor terminology and a bad shared understanding of how to qualify the types and amount of work that go into maintaining relationships of any kind. Instead of being able to say "I don't want to be the manager of this relationship" we misappropriate "emotional labor" since it's a catch phrase of sorts. I also think the article didn't do a good job of explaining concept creep in other contexts, which would have been more interesting imo.
